SDNY hires forensic accountants in Trump case.

Looks like fun coming for Trump after Jan 20.

District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr. opened the investigation in 2018 to examine alleged hush-money payments made to two women who, during Trump's first presidential campaign, claimed to have had affairs with him years earlier. The probe has since expanded, and now includes the Trump Organization's activities more broadly, said the people familiar with the matter. Vance's office has suggested in court filings that bank, tax and insurance fraud are areas of exploration.

Vance has contracted with FTI Consulting to look for anomalies among a variety of property deals, and to advise the district attorney on whether the president's company manipulated the value of certain assets to obtain favorable interest rates and tax breaks, according to a person with knowledge of the investigation who, like others, spoke on the condition of anonymity because the matter remains highly sensitive. The probe is believed to encompass transactions spanning several years.

Follow the money. Where it comes from, where it goes. Real estate transactions are ideal for all kinds of financial fuckery...

The rumours were that Trump was more of a money launderer than a real estate mogul.
We may find out.

I have a feeling that they will turn up lots of financial fuckery...

I wish they'd keep that quiet until after the indictment. It will motivate Trump to start a war or declare martial law to postpone the indictment.

He is not going to be able to get enough support for that. He can incite shit which may lead to some injury and death here and there, but he'd need an actual junta like Pinochet had and what general or admiral wants to go down with a loser - which everyone knows he is at this point?

+1. The military is not going to back an idiot. They don't trust him as long as they can throw a hand grenade.
